I wonder what the results would have been if they had tested a > FWD Fusion. > Larry Exactly. It is kind of like Microsoft showing how secure Windows 2003 is compared to Linux. They compare Win2003 to some older version of Red Hat, or worse, when they compare the TCO of upgrading to Linux from windows and include training costs vs. simply staying with Windows. Doh! As an aside, I decided to drag race - well, sort of - my wife yesterday. She was in her '05 Vue and I in my '06 Avalanche. Her 240 HP V6 completely outran my 310 HP V8. Of course, her car weighs 3,400 lbs. compared to my truck at almost 6,000 lbs. :P -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com Free Compean and Ramos http://www.grassfire.org/142/petition.asp http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46

I was following a Ferrari something, red, the other day, and at each stop the chap would gun it and then fly down the road - long twisting roads with only a few stops. It was funny as he could not pull away from my Dakota Quad 4x4 v8 truck. He kept looking back and I don't think that he ever gained more than 50' on me :) -- Leythos spam999free(a)rrohio.com (remove 999 for proper email address)

LOL The difference is that I know what a racing engine sounds like, and I'm sure that he was stomping on it. I'm not saying that the Dakota V8 is any kind of fast, but he sure didn't pull away during it. -- Leythos spam999free(a)rrohio.com (remove 999 for proper email address)
